Avoiding Separation Anxiety When Sending Your Child To A CT Daycare Center

Tips on how to avoid separation anxiety when sending your child to a CT daycare center.


Separation anxiety is something that all kids go through at one point or another. Many parents have experienced many tears and tantrums from their children whenever they are to be separated from each other. Unfortunately, if you are a working parent, it is inevitable that you will be away from your child for many hours in a day. Some parents find out that sending a child to a CT daycare center might provide stronger separation anxieties with the child because they are also left in an unfamiliar place.

Separation anxiety is not unusual even for kids who are about to go to a CT preschool. Although this is quite normal, there are some things you can do to help ease your child’s separation anxiety and help him overcome it.

·         Do a trial visit. It will be a great help if you do a trial visit to the Connecticut day care center before leaving your child there. Visit the center so that your child will be familiar with the place even just a little bit.
·         Make your child comfortable. It will also help if you try to make your child comfortable before leaving him at the center. Let someone at the center play with your child while you are still there with him.
·         Keep your goodbyes short. The first thing you have to make sure of is that you say goodbye to your child. Never try to distract him and then sneak away when he is busy with something else. Instead, you can hug and kiss your child as you say your goodbyes. Keep it short and do not prolong it even if he has started to cry.
·         Leave then come back. After saying goodbye, leave the center straightaway. Looking back or going back if your child has continued to cry loudly will only make matters worse. Leave immediately after your goodbye rituals but make sure that you come back on the time when you promised your child. This will help your child understand that you will come back even during the times when you need to leave him.
